Belle has heart disease

She’s so good at taking her meds. I’m so sorry to hear of all she has got going on with her. She’s in the best hands with you xx
 
Well, Belle is really not looking like herself today. She's not been interested in taking her meds or food in general, although she has had some.

Her breathing is very heavy and she's spent most of her time buried in her hay.

I have an emergency appointment at 14:30 today, and I'm anticipating I may have to let her go. 😥
 
We let the lovely Belle go this afternoon. She was clearly struggling with with her breathing and energy levels, and the vet confirmed he could hear her heart pounding over her lungs. She wasn't going to get any better and with the weekend coming up, I didn't want to leave it too late and have her suffer.

We gave her some grass before heading to the appointment which she happily snuffled down, and then we had some final cuddles before we handed her over to the vet.

The whole process was surprisingly quick and comforting, and Belle was relaxed and happy. I wish we'd had more time, but having had a few guineas pass away now, I'm confident I made the right call for Belle.
